IB Custom UITableViewCell - Dynamic Height for cell and detailText

Question

Im trying to create a table very similar to the Messages table,

It requires 3 labels, - Title - detailText - Time (on the far right side)

The detail text needs to be dynamic height and so does the actual tableViewCell

is it possible to make a dynamic height tableViewCell in IB?

Answer 1

Yes you can,

Just use this method to of the UITableViewDelegate

tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:

Answer 2

First, you need some NSString method to calculate the height of cell it needs. And in my experience, you need the tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath as Cyprian said, and under different cell height, the cell returned from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: should have different layout too, to present the multi-line strings.
